In the silence, Xi Heng recalled the promise he had made to the other person and whispered:

“Once we’ve finished all our busy work and have some free time, let’s leave this world together. We’ll not only go to the Chonghai Realm we agreed on before, but if we can get the coordinates of other cultivation worlds, we’ll go there together.”

Yin Wanluan chuckled lightly, not taking those words to heart.

What she wants to do can only be accomplished by taking enormous risks and being prepared to give her life.

When it's all over... she can't even imagine what she'll look like then.

So let's not talk about 'free time' anymore.

However... it wouldn't hurt to agree.

"Okay."

Surrounded by warm fluorescent light, two girls holding hands and walking up the white stone steps turned their heads slightly together.

The pale red pupils and the glass-like gold met, each reflecting the other's image.

The subtle glow on their cheeks, the shape of their features, the slight sway of their light-colored bangs as they walked, and the shifting light in their eyes were all deeply etched into their memories.

Xi Heng was once again captivated by the other person's extraordinary charm for half a second, barely managing to pull the slightly awkward atmosphere back together:

"You agreed so quickly."

"The premise is that you can find the coordinates of other realms where the cultivation world still exists—this is not something that can be obtained easily. Our Fire Prison originally had three coordinates of other realms, but now, the cultivators in those three locations have all perished."

"It's okay, there will always be opportunities." Xi Heng was quite optimistic.

She fought her way out of the Chonghai Realm, where cultivators had been wiped out.

Previously, in the Great Zhao, the difficulty of cultivating immortality and refining Qi was much greater than finding another coordinate in another realm now.

She is currently progressing smoothly in her Qi cultivation and believes that she will not encounter greater difficulties than before.

So I'm not worried at all; on the contrary, I'm full of fighting spirit.

"I hope so," Yin Wanluan said simply.

"If you are still safe and sound after the Fire Hell incident and wish to travel to other realms, try not to delay too long... because most of the cultivation world is now in decline. If it were delayed by a few decades, the cultivation world that should have existed might have turned into ruins."

"Mmm." Xi Heng had experienced this before.

However, it doesn't matter to her whether it's earlier or later—as long as her mental lifespan is still intact, she can choose the time in the save/load space.

Thinking about her psychological lifespan, she suddenly wanted to see how much her psychological lifespan had increased.

Cultivating immortality, refining qi, cleansing essence and marrow not only nourishes the physical body but also significantly aids the mind, inevitably increasing mental lifespan to some extent... It's just unknown how much this increase will be.

"It's a pity we can't see it now. We'll wait until we die and reload our save file."

The girl clicked her tongue inwardly.

"I probably won't live much longer in this life... Even if I survive the attack of the Resentful Heaven Demon Fire, without spiritual energy to cultivate, there's no need for me to live much longer."

As she walked, Yin Wanluan, who was accompanying her, had no idea that she was actually thinking about when she would die.

The two slowly walked up the long staircase, passing several rooms and platforms.

Finally, my footsteps landed on the highest point, on a wide, unobstructed rooftop without any railings.

A few simple tables and chairs were casually arranged, and the simple decorations and painted fire patterns made the tabletop not seem particularly shabby.

The light blonde girl led the girl to the table, patted her left shoulder, and gestured for her to sit down.

"I've told you so many times, don't pat my shoulder." Although it wasn't his right shoulder that was the source of his psychological trauma, Xi Heng still sensed an uncomfortable sense of probing.

"Why?" Yin Wanluan tilted her head and asked directly, "It's fine if I run into other places."

Even when I touched her waist and placed my fingers on her abdomen during the previous medicine-making process, she didn't seem to resist this much.

"Because a woman patted me on the shoulder and then attacked me, almost killing me," the girl answered honestly, pouting.

"I won't hurt you."

"Really?"

"nature."

She didn't believe it because this person was the main consciousness of the Resentful Heaven Demon Fire.

Although they are currently on friendly terms, she may very well turn into demonic fire in the future, at which point she will be powerless to control herself.

Apart from her, none of those consumed by resentment have been able to maintain a clear and calm mind...

But there's no need to think about it too much now.

Xi Heng said, "Let's put everything else aside for now—let's set off fireworks."

She took the pentagonal, colorful stone from her storage bag and placed it gently on the table.

Illuminated by the surrounding fluorescence, the surface of the prism is shrouded in a gradient of seven colors, which fluctuate in a regular and orderly manner, without being chaotic or complicated.

"This is the first time we've been this close..." Yin Wanluan reached out and grasped it with her slender fingers, holding it in front of her.

A rainbow of light fell upon her fair face, and as she gently turned, a spiritual light emerged and seeped into the fairy stone.

As a result, its brightness became even more conspicuous.

The blonde girl waved her hand to withdraw the faint glow from the surrounding area, and then placed the fairy stone on the table to use as a lamp.

The stone's iridescent light remained faint, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a candlelight dinner.

"Tell me, how do you use this thing?" Xi Heng didn't know how to activate this strange stone.

"Infuse it with spiritual energy, reach its limit, and send it into the sky."

Yin Wanluan gently rested his chin on one hand and said, "Before that, we need to use array patterns and talismans to lock onto a coordinate with this object, so that the light of the immortal rainbow can break through the void and reach other realms—at least that's what the book says."

"If I want to target the Chonghai Realm, how do I draw upon the spiritual light, and how do I input the coordinates?" Xi Heng tilted his head.

"The Pure Fire Realm and the Chonghai Realm are close to each other, and their coordinates already exist. I can draw them on the Immortal Rainbow Stone."

The blonde girl easily raised her hand and drew talismanic characters in the air, with overlapping lines that adorned the stone surface rippling with iridescent light.

Xi Heng had also studied formations and could understand the meaning of the lines and runes within them.

When the other party finished drawing it in front of her, she silently calculated it in her mind and understood the coordinate formula of the Chonghai Boundary.

After noting this down, she was able to pilot the flying boat and return to her own Chonghai Realm from the Pure Fire Realm at any time... but there was really no need for that.

A moment later, Yin Wanluan finished drawing and handed over the Fairy Rainbow Stone, now with a layer of regular stripes on its surface.

"Ready."

"Ah."

The white-haired girl grasped the five-sided prism with both hands and gently lifted it into the night sky.

The moon was full and bright, and the thin clouds were reduced to wisps by the night breeze.

A cool breeze brushed past her ears, through her fine, silky hair, and stirred her delicate neck and shoulders.

Xi Heng closed his eyes slightly, gathering his spiritual energy in his palm and placing it on the stone pillar that emitted a seven-colored glow.

The colored light became increasingly perfect, and the range of its radiation expanded.

Gradually, this celestial stone transformed into a star nurtured by the earth, its seven-colored light merging into a pure white radiance.

The light gradually intensified, and in just a few seconds, its intensity rose from that of an ordinary incandescent bulb to nearly the brightness of a flare, illuminating the entire mountain peak.

The girl loosened her fingers, and the Fairy Stone gradually floated into the sky like a hot air balloon.

A dozen seconds later, Bai Yao was far away, and a bright light appeared in the night sky.

The brightness was like the first rays of dawn, dispelling the darkness of the entire infernal hell.

The Celestial Stone gathered the white light and continued to rise, slowly transforming into an extremely bright star in the sky, its brightness remaining stagnant for a long time.

"..." Xi Heng blinked: "There won't be any fireworks to watch, will there?"

Yin Wanluan stood quietly to the side, looking up at the scene with an unchanged expression.

The light rose higher and higher, first becoming the brightness of an ordinary star, and finally disappearing completely, enveloped by the night sky.

Just as the girl who gave away the fairy stones pouted, wondering if the things were expiring prematurely from time to time.

Suddenly, a purple light appeared in the sky and spread rapidly.

This color falling on the night sky is like ink being poured into a basin of water, rapidly expanding its influence without diminishing its intensity.

It envelops the stars, draping the pristine full moon in a purple veil, adding to its elegance, beauty, and mystery.

The simple night sky becomes extremely unique because of this uneven purple color.

After the purple light filled and adorned the sky, it gradually rotated, forming a vortex shape in the night sky. It even caused the starlight and moonlight to trace paths, like a time-lapse photograph of the starry sky, drawing blurry lines as it moved, creating a series of quite symmetrical spiral arms of the Milky Way.

As Xi Heng gazed at the scene, a pattern suddenly appeared in his mind, mirroring the image before him.

"Milky Way?"

Those many symmetrical spiral arms, along with the increasingly radiant purple light in the center, flowed together with the light of numerous stars and the full moon... This was similar to the shape of the galaxy in her memory.

The magnificent scene before us was directly pasted onto the sky, making it appear even more majestic and splendid.

The rotation was visible to the naked eye, and the starlight arms grew longer and longer until they stretched across the entire sky and gradually stopped when they touched the horizon.

Yin Wanluan moved closer to Xi Heng, reached out and brushed her wrist, then touched the back of her hand with her fingertips.

"It's so beautiful, no wonder it's a legendary scenic spot."

"You said..." she gazed at the remaining stars and moonlight on the purple screen and asked softly, "What do these stars and moon actually look like?"

“Every star is a shining sun in the far distance,” the girl answered with her common sense. “And the moon is a satellite that protects the earth beneath our feet.”

It's unclear whether these common-sense facts of the modern world can be applied to the cultivation world.

"Is the full moon also a star?" The other person looked back at him.

"If we were in a distant galaxy, our sun would be considered a tiny star."

“That’s quite an original idea.” Yin Wanluan raised her hand and touched the countless stars in the sky with her slender fingers, then asked, “So, are there worlds like ours around every star? And do other realms exist around the stars?”

“I’m not quite sure…” Xi Heng shook his head: “In the outer void I’ve crossed, there is no sun, no moon, and each realm in the outer void is just a faintly glowing crack.”

"And what are the sun and moon?" Yin Wanluan's curiosity seemed to be piqued by the magnificent sight before her.

"Is it a manifestation of Yin and Yang, or an incarnation of immortals and deities, or a separation of chaos... Is it merely an illusion, or a tangible reality?"

This guy seems to have a knack for becoming an astronomer.

The girl blinked and guessed, "In any case, it's still a physical entity, right?"

She couldn't imagine a moon that wasn't a physical object.

"If it is truly a physical entity... I would like to reach out and touch it." Yin Wanluan slowly grasped her raised right hand. In her eyes, the distant full moon, hazy with purple light, was being held in her fingers.

"That's quite a difficult thing."

If one were in the mortal realm devoid of spiritual energy, landing on the moon would be extremely complicated, requiring the unlocking of far too many technological advancements.

I wonder if there's a powerful spell that can bypass these steps and achieve the goal directly.

Even if it exists, it would require a fairly high level of Qi cultivation to use.

At least with the strength of the Foundation Establishment Realm, one cannot survive for too long in outer space.

It's unknown whether she can actually reach the universe, or whether the universe she envisions truly exists in this world.

If so, to reach the universe, one might need to figure out what exactly the outer void in the sky is.

In short, it is extremely difficult.

"It's just a thought." Yin Wanluan shook his head and gently lowered his five fingers.

The shimmering light flowed through the purple sky, and the Milky Way continued to revolve, its brilliance scattering like a rain of light and falling meteors.

"But if I have the chance, I will take you there," the girl made another promise.

"You always like to joke around, don't you?" The other person turned around and looked at him, but could clearly see that Xi Heng seemed to be serious.

No matter how you look at it, it's not a casual joke.

"...Really?" Yin Wanluan hesitated for a moment and asked again.

"There should be opportunities in the future," Xi Heng nodded.

"There is also the promise to travel to other realms together, and the promise to accompany you on your journey through the Chonghai Realm. These promises will all be fulfilled in the future."
